MUSTANG QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE 2005
SMART UNLOCKINGThis feature helps prevent you from locking yourself out of the vehicle if your key is still in the ignition. When you open the door, lock the vehicle, and then close the door, the driver’s door will automatically unlock, reminding you that your key is still in the ignition. For more information, please refer to your Owner’s Guide.
REMOTE ENTRY SYSTEMYour vehicle is equipped with a remote entry system which allows you to lock or unlock the vehicle’s doors without a key. It also allows you to release the trunk lid, activate a personal alarm, and arm or disarm the active anti-theft alarm system (if equipped). Note: The Panic function will not operate when the ignition is in the ON or START position; the trunk lid release function only operates when the vehicle speed is less than 3 mph (5 km/h). Up to four remote transmitters can be programmed to your vehicle. For programming instructions, please refer to your Owner’s Guide.
CENTRAL LOCKINGYour keys can be used to lock and unlock both doors from the driver’s door key cylinder. All doors are locked when the key is inserted and turned to the lock position. The driver’s door is unlocked when the key is inserted and turned to the unlock position. Turning to the unlock position again within three seconds unlocks the passenger side door.
ACTIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)This system is designed to sound the security horn and flash the directional indicators when unauthorized entry or towing is detected. This system is armed whenever the vehicle is electronically locked and disarmed when the vehicle is electronically unlocked. For more detailed information, please refer to your Owner’s Guide.
11 PROGRAMMABLE COLOR CLUSTER (IF EQUIPPED)The instrument cluster gauges are backlit with white backlighting when the headlamps are off. When the headlamps are on, you can select one of six preset colors or create your own color (MyColor) for the nighttime gauge backlighting. Headlamps must be on to set up the nighttime display. Note: A gauge in a warning condition will be lit red when the headlamps are on. Press SETUP to get to the DISPLAY COLOR set up menu. Pressing RESET will scroll through the following selectable colors: Green, Purple, Orange, Blue, White, Red, and MyColor/Adjust (to define MyColor).
Adjusting MyColor: The vehicle must be stationary to enter the MyColor adjust mode. To enter the MyColor adjust mode, hold RESET for three seconds at the Adjust menu, or press SETUP to scroll through the display colors again. When in the MyColor adjust mode, pressing RESET will step through the Red, Green, Blue and Exit options. You can create your own color by adjusting the levels of the three primary colors to achieve any of 125 different combinations. Pressing SETUP will increment the proportion of the color (Red, Green, or Blue) being adjusted. Try many combinations and record your favorites. To exit MyColor/Adjust, hold RESET for three seconds when prompted.*
12 MESSAGE CENTER (IF EQUIPPED)With the ignition in the ON position, the message center displays important vehicle information by constantly monitoring vehicle systems. You may select display features on the message center for a display of status. The system will also notify you of potential vehicle problems with a display of system warnings followed by a long indicator chime.*
13 SECURILOCK™ PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEMThis system is designed to prevent the engine from being started unless a coded key programmed to your vehicle is used. Your Securilock™ system is armed immediately after switching the ignition to the OFF/LOCK position. The THEFT indicator will flash every two seconds when the vehicle is armed. Switching the ignition to the ON position with a coded key disarms the system. Your vehicle comes with two coded keys. You can purchase additional coded keys from your dealer.*
